1 Chronicles 2Looking back on this family record, the remnants of Judah are seeking some kind of word from God that explains who they are and where they are going. Their story is one of brokenness and failure. They have plenty of skeletons in their closet. Even Judah himself acted irresponsibly toward Tamar, but finally admitted that she was more righteous than himself. There is Achan as well, who troubled the whole people with his greed.
But there is also the proof in these records of a faithful God who preserved and prospered his people. Judah is left hanging by a thread at this time, but they also know that God is able to preserve them, and to bring back their honor. These are the chronicles of a people who refuse to forget God.
LORD, make us a people who refuse to forget what you have done for us, and still hope in you.
